Abstract: (APS)
Numerical simulations of H- stripping losses from blackbody radiation, electromagnetic fields, and residual gas have been implemented into the beam dynamics code track. Estimates of the stripping losses along two high-intensity H- linacs are presen ted: the Spallation Neutron Source linac currently being operated at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and an 8GeV superconducting linac currently being designed at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.
